Arches National Park 4x4 Adventure from Moab

Overview
Hop into a Toyota Land Cruiser with your expert guide and head north from Moab to the backcountry entrance of Arches National Park and avoid the crowds.

Our first stop is to see dinosaur footprints. For millions of years this area was teeming with dinosaurs.

We pass Balanced Rock, one of the most iconic features of the Park, standing a staggering 128 feet. Landscape look familiar? Indiana Jones, and Thelma and Louise have scenes shot here.

The 4X4 trail into the backcounty climbs a short but steep rock wall passing sandstone fins, towering pinnacles and tall spires known as the Marching Men. We stop at Tower Arch for an optional hike.

As you travel along the track, hear informative commentary about the geology, wildlife and history of the park.

We make another stop at Eye of the Whale for an optional hike to a seldom visited slick rock playground named Herdina Park.

After exploring the backcountry we exit past the three gossips and Park Avenue before your guide returns you to Moab.

The whole tour was great and Matt was a fine guide. The back country experience was awesome, as well as the normal paved road trip.

Archeā€™s 4x4 with Ric was a great intro to all that the park has to offer. First we entered the park thru the back entrance avoiding long lines. By doing so we saved time and saw other archeā€™s that are not visited by the mobs. The road was bumpy but well navigated by a very experienced driver. Ric was a wealth of knowledge for all trails in Moab. I was surprised to learn that some of the best hikes are not in Archeā€™s Park. Although the tour was 4 hours, we saw numerous sites and Ric helped plan our entire 4 day visit including where to view the best Archeā€™s at the perfect time of day. He also helped plan our meals and shopping. We were fortunate to win the lottery for Fiery Furnace and Ric gave us numerous tips on navigating the maze. What impressed me the most was that there was an elderly couple in our jeep and Ric showed an incredible amount of courtesy for the couple and at the same time made sure we were never slowed down. We had a wonderful time. I recommend the tour your first morning so you donā€™t waste anytime exploring Moab. We also hiked Grandstaff, Canyonlandā€™s, and Dead Horse. We ate at top restaurants including Thai Bella, 98 Center, and Antica Forma. We stayed at Hoodoo which was phenomenal in so May ways. Navtec was great. Use them. Ask for Ric.
